Design Spotlight: Susan Westervelt

March 6, 2012

Today, the Design Spotlight falls on Susan Westervelt, whose soft and gentle style is very appealing.

_________________________

This is one of my favorite cards because I am fascinated by flowers, especially tulips, and capturing their exquisite detail in photos.

I am a passionate photographer and have been as long as I can remember, beginning with a Brownie when I was a kid.

I live in Phoenix, Arizona and am looking forward to a time when I can travel and photograph my adventures. I have two grown daughters and three grandchildren.  I enjoy spending time with my family, painting, sketching and, of course, snapping away with my camera when I’m not working.

This is my third year participating in a 365 project or Photo of the Day.  It’s been fun.  Creating greeting cards from many of my photographs is a natural extension.  I love seeing life through the lens.

I’ve been inspired by many wonderful photographers and artists here at Greeting Card Universe.
